23
Audio Mode (Data Editor for XW-P1 only)
Important!
To use the functions in the Audio Mode, you need to have a memory card that has been formatted with the Instrument
connected to your computer.
A memory card inserted in the Instruments card slot cannot be read from your computer. Use a computer memory card
reader for connection.
Sufficient storage capacity is required on your computer when using the Audio Mode to convert a WAVE file.
Only WAVE files of the format defined below can be converted by the Audio Mode for files that play back on the Instrument.
Data format : Linear PCM
Quantization bit rate : 8bit/sample unsigned, 16bit/sample signed, 24bit/sample signed, 32bit/sample signed
Playback time : Up to 99 minutes 59 seconds
Even if a particular WAVE file satisfies the above format, it may not be able to be converted properly due to other reasons.
Under certain computer settings, the display may shows the files described below on the memory card. Never try to delete or
perform any other file operation on these files. Doing so can result in improper playback on the Instrument.
CASIOWV1.WAV to CASIOWV9.WAV
CASIOW10.WAV to CASIOW20.WAV
Files with names that start with an underscore (_) and end with the extension .WV7.
CASIOWAV.DIR
You may not be able to delete some audio files recorded with a CASIO electronic musical instrument equipped with an audio
recording function.
24
Screen Content
The screen shot below shows Data Editor for XW-P1 running under Windows XP.
(2) Trash
Use trash to delete computer WAVE files and memory card audio files.
25
Using the Audio Tab
Click the (3) Select memory card button. On the list of memory cards that appears, select the one.
z The memory card you select here will be selected automatically the next time you start up Data Editor. If the memory card
content read process fails for some reason, the (5) Memory card file list will remain blank. The following are the most
common causes of read failures.
The memory card is not selected correctly.
Select the memory card you want to use.
There is no folder named MUSICDAT on the memory card.
The card is formatted on an Instrument that does not have an audio function.
An audio file on the memory card is corrupted.
Reformat the memory card on an Instrument.
Formatting a memory card deletes all of its contents. Be sure to save any important files on the memory
card that you want to keep to another location before formatting the memory card.
If reformatting the memory card does not resolve the problem, it could mean that the memory card is defective. In this
case, use a different memory card.
1. In the (4) Computer file list, find the file you want to play on the Instrument.
2. Drag the file from the (4) Computer file list and drop it into the (5) Memory card file list.
The files you drag and drop are placed in a queue, and saved one-by-one. The WAVE file is converted to a format that can
be played by the Instrument and added to the end of the (5) Memory card file list.
File numbers are sequentially appended to files added to the (5) Memory card file list. The largest number is 999.
Further addition of files will not be possible after number 999 is assigned.
The above step performs a data conversion process. Depending on the size and format of the WAVE file, it may take
some time to complete. Perform this operation when you have enough time to wait for the process to complete.
A name is automatically assigned to the audio file based on the first 12 characters of the WAVE file name. However,
any character that is not included in the table below is replaced automatically by an underscore (_).
26
Returning a File from the Memory Card File List
1. In the (5) Memory card file list, find the file you want to return to the computer file list.
A file returned to a computer is not the same as the original file, but rather a file that has been converted to a format
that is supported for playback on the Instrument.
1. In the (5) Memory card file list, find the file you want to delete.
2. Drag the file from the (5) Memory card file list and drop it into (2) Trash.
1. In the (4) Computer file list, find the file you want to delete.
2. Drag the file from the (4) Computer file list and drop it into (2) Trash.
This performs the same operation as that performed on your operating system when you discard something with trash.
1. In the (4) Computer file list, select the file you want to rename and then double-click it.
2. This will change to the file name editing mode. Enter the new name.
3. After you are finished entering a name, press the [Enter] key on your computer keyboard.
Canceling a Process
Click the (9) Cancel button while a process is being performed. This will cause a confirmation dialog box to appear.
Click the [Yes] button to confirm you want to cancel.
This will cancel the ongoing process and also discard any files in the process queue.
27
User Wave Convert Mode (Data Editor for XW-G1 only)
Important!
Sufficient storage capacity is required on your computer to use this mode.
Only WAVE files of the format defined below can be imported with this mode.
Data Format : Linear PCM
Quantization Bit Rate : 8bit/sample unsigned, 16bit/sample signed, 24bit/sample signed, 32bit/sample signed
Even if a particular WAVE file satisfies the above format, it may not be able to be imported properly due to other reasons.
The format describe below is for WAVE files saved in this mode.
Data Format : Linear PCM
Quantization Bit Rate : 16bit/sample unsigned
Sampling Frequency : 21,409Hz (When saved with 21kHz setting.)
42,819Hz (When saved with 42kHz setting.)
Channels : Monaural (When saved with monaural setting.)
Stereo (When saved with stereo setting.)
This mode has a playback function that can be used to check split point settings. Note, however, that playback may not be
exactly the same as that produced by the Instrument. Be sure to perform final adjustment and confirmation on the Instrument
itself.
If a WAVE file imported to the Instrument exceeds the allowable length for a user wave tone file, the excess part is
automatically cut off.
Screen Content
